It might be nice if languages wishing to distinguish themselves could show a simple other than factorial. If there is something unique about your language, please, please show it to us.
I have seen umpteen "new, great functional language examples" that look like:
fact x = [typedef BLAH@#$@#] x * fact(x-10 or o if x==0
Give me something interesting. I really like new language. I think the success of Ruby is showing the "language nerds" that they are relevant but you guys and gals gotta show clear that you've got that makes "easy things easy and difficult things possible". Several common examples that were really clear would do that, so the small things matter.
I mean this with the hope of helping folks do better. OK?
